Outline
Warning message claims that researchers at Princeton University have discovered that electromagnetic radiation from decorative magnets stuck to refrigerator doors “radiated” the food inside thereby massively increasing the probability of cancer in test mice used in the study.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the warning message have no basis in fact. There are no credible reports about any such study at Princeton University or elsewhere. Nor is there any evidence to suggest that refrigerator magnets could “radiate” food and cause cancer in the way described.
Example
Subject: Decorative Magnets on Refrigerators – DANGER !
A number of researchers at Princeton’s University have discovered something scary!.
For several months, they were feeding two groups of mice: the first group with food kept in a refrigerator, and the second group with food kept in a refrigerator as well but with several decorative magnets on the door.
The objective of this experiment was to see how electromagnetic radiation (that coming out from the decorative magnets on the door) affect food items. Amazingly, rigorous clinical studies stated that the group of mice that consumed the “radiated” food had as much as 87 % higher probability to get cancer than the other group of mice.
Inexplicably no Governments or health associations/institutions have given any statement on this regard. However and just in case, is recommendable to remove any decorative magnet from refrigerators, and put it far away from any food.
